What's For Dinner?

[Krikit 1,164]

I like creamed corn (though I do the same with it as Marilyn... and sometimes even put it in my chili) and I like tinned peas!!! In fact, we had them the other night with our meatloaf. LOL

Brnidokie, there is no way you will get me to try that recipe. As my mum would say "It sounds like a dog's breakfast." And evap just makes me shudder. But I am interested..... what recipes do your co-workers think are weird? LOL

maybe its not that are so weird, but does make it sound like you eat more (healthy) than we do, of course we fry alot, throw on the potato and gravey, baked beans etc, then there is a large population of the mexican community here so we definatly get that influnce, and that one with all the cucumbers omg they would become pickles for us and noooooo way would one of us be able to eat so many so many different ways. Of course we do the beans and cornbread, the pea salad is a norm, roasts, chicken (but not so many ways) fried or Churches is good ha pork chops, latest road kill we can scrape up (definately kidding here) most of us dont make alllllllll those soups. Next time they comment i will take note and let you know. But they do definately enjoy shareing, most here with the corns, will combine the whole and the creamy, corn on the cob is a standard also. But that latest one i posted from our radio show this morning allllllllll stated oh good that looks great ha so you see the differences... and i doubt anyone here has every made chowder, for sure not put it in chili ha but its all good this way we learn. So i will try one of yours if you do one of ours ha

Last night we had crunchy pea salad, smoked sausage, and garlic cheese sauced pasta shells. Tonight I might get something from Costco to heat up. Maybe pizza? We're going away tomorrow for a few days, so I don't want leftovers in my fridge for all that time, and we'll be eating out on our outting, so don't want to eat out tonight. I dunno, I'll figure something out!

What puts the crunch in a crunchy pea salad?

I don't actually like peas - well that's not true, I like fresh peas - not canned or frozen or cooked

Pea salad is one of my Moms absolute favorite dishes.

The steak and rice for dinner last night was just awful, took the wrong steak out

Okay, what is pea salad?

Just as I'd predicted, we ate at Pollo Tropical last night and had the chicken fajitas. Yummy. I'm not too sure what we're having this evening. Something quick and easy because we are heading straight out as soon as my husband gets home. I'm thinking hotdogs and mac and cheese? Or maybe baked ravioli and caesar salad. I dunno.

Heres one Marilyn its got mexican, cheese, and easy as opening cans. Ill have ya all eating mexican yet

I had to google Milnot. Yeah.... don't think I'll be making that.

My pea salad is a little different than brnindokiegirl's. A lot of the crunch comes from the celery.

My recipe is:

1/2 bag of frozen peas (I use the petite baby peas - Bird's Eye...very tender and fresh!) thawed

1 cup of chopped celery, chopped small

1 cup of chopped green onions

1 can of sliced waterchesnuts ( I use this to make it crunchier)

salt and pepper to taste. I throw in some dill weed as well.

1/3 to 1/2 depending on taste sour cream (I use lite or fat free)

This is very much a cold salad that you want to have the flavours mix in the fridge for a bit. You can throw anything into it as well. It's a cool refreshing summer salad. If you have shelled fresh peas, it would be the ultimate!

I make a salad called overnight salad or 7 layer salad that uses frozen peas.. mmm, I love that stuff...

[Krikit 1,164]

So i will try one of yours if you do one of ours ha

You're on! But I get to choose the recipe. Oh, and Church's chicken is really good.

Hmmm. I have some celery, green onions, and sour cream in the fridge I need to get rid of. Maybe I'll try that. I think I'll throw in some chopped fresh mint as well. And maybe a squeeze of lime, because I have some of those in the fridge also. Though I could always make mojitos.

How much does it serve an unfriendly crowd? Oh, and when I read "Fry nuts until brown" I had to go back and make sure it wasn't referring to camel parts.

We ended up eating at my favourite restaurant, Sushi Katana, because we were right by there picking something up. I had the same thing that I have every single time.... little appetizer portions of seaweed salad, shumai (shrimp dumplings) and salmon sashimi. My husband had the shrimp and scallops. Delicious, as always.

Tonight, I have no clue. Still working on getting rid of whatever's in the fridge. Plus, my husband will probably end up working late because the poor thing is trying to wrap things up so he can go on vacation, and I know how hard that can be. Can't wait to get him out of there for some rest and rejuvenation. They're killing him.

[Marilyn. 340]

tonight I am making chili dogs and prolly french fries...

I think we are going to Applebees this weekend.. that is my favourite restaurant now..
